Since bodily fluids are the main vector of transmission, what happens when he flushes the toilet after using it, and the stuff goes down the train to the sewerage treatment plant? Wouldn’t the entire route, from toilet to the pipes, to the sewer and to the bogs where the stuff is stored till they turn it back into drinking water, be contaminated????
Can they remove the virus/bacteria from the water? Wouldn’t it infect the entire lagoon?
How do they handle the infection route in between? What happens if city workers have to handle those pipes for any reason? Or private plumbers?
How about if he decides to spit in his trashcan? People handle trash and many trash dumps have a line where people go through that trash in order to sort it for recycling. Wouldn’t those people be at risk handling his trash?
If he coughs or sneezes within his home, his entire home would likely become contaminated. Then what? Burn the house to the ground if he dies?
So many ways for infection to occur, and such a risky disease to have on the loose.
We are not supposed to think, just sit here dumb and happy, believing that ebola is no big deal... even if it kills 60% of those who catch it and leaves permanent problems for those who survive it.
And we certainly shouldn’t be asking any questions. (/sarc)
Good question, this was a big deal when aids started in 1981.
As a "private plumber" or "service, or repair plumber" I paid some attention to that, but eventually lost interest and came to ignore it, most of us ignore Aids now.
What's funny is that Ebola has killed fewer than 2000 since it started in 1976, and Aids has killed 36 million since 1981, and 1.6 million in 2012, yet I never think of it anymore in my work.
